Today's Prompt:
What feels overwhelming to you right now and how are you coping?
Perhaps I should reflect on what does NOT feel overwhelming right now. There are times when I truly feel that list is much shorter. Actually, the things that seem daunting or overwhelming right now really aren't - it's just combined together with all my other responsibilities and ventures, I never seem to have enough time to do all that I need, let alone want, to do. One week is probably all I need. A week to fully dedicate myself from 9-5 to all the things on my numerous to-do lists. To organize, network, and delegate. Sigh! The odds of that happening are slim-to-none. So I settle for running errands on my lunch break, completing tasks after the kids are in bed, forcing myself to quit no later than midnight so I can attempt to give my brain some downtime....so, I can get up around 5:30 the next morning to start it all over again.
Coping? I'd like to think I'm doing way better than just coping. I truly enjoy all, okay most, of the endeavors I'm involved in and they give me a renewed sense of purpose and self. Perhaps I will savor these sacred quiet moments in my home where I have opportunity to just be. No one needs me to be or do anything. Nah, I think I'll be better off catching a quick nap :)
